It happens that by cutting off bread, we notice suddenly on it a mold. How to be? Cropping it, continue eating the remainder of the bread, untouched by mold, or abandon it, too?.

If mold appears on bread, fruits, vegetables or soft cheese, do not eat a slice of these products. In a video from TechInsider, which drew attention to medportal. ru, show: what we call mold, this is only part of the system of fungi, which can permeate the whole chunk of food. What we see is part of the fungus, intended for reproduction, a sporangium scattering thousands of spores. Thus, the "clean" part of moldy bread does not exist, writes 42. tut. by.

How dangerous this mold is depends on the type of fungus. Some of them are relatively insignificant, but some really threaten health. Thus, fungi of the genus Cladosporium are relatively safe, although they can cause allergies. But, for example, penicillium crusty produces toxins that cause poisoning.

The usual black mold on bread is also dangerous to health.

Short-term heat treatment does not neutralize toxins of fungi. Therefore, eating foods that have become moldy are "Russian roulette" and it is better to throw moldy bread.

Note that in the rules for eating food with mold there are exceptions. So, nutritionist Catherine Zeratski on her blog on the Mayo Clinic website indicates that hard cheese after mold cutting can be eaten.
